Several David Perez questions. He's already a towering behemoth as an 18 year old (6'5" 200). Any chance he gets even bigger as he gets older? If so, what do you think his fastball velocity gets to (also, where did he usually sit last season)?(MonkeyEpoxy from Texas)

I think Perez will start to fill-out his frame over the next few years; he will end up a very large man. I think his arm action and delivery will allow him to tick up a bit in the velo dept, reaching a sustainable 93-96 with the ability to touch in the 97-98. He was 89-93 last season and touched higher (94-96) when he maxed it out. (Jason Parks)

Nope. Luis Heredia is a better prospect, at least right now. If Perez continues to take steps forward, he could make it interesting. Heredia has a chance to be an elite level prospect, but its going to take time. Lots of time. (Jason Parks)
